Why is the blue flame noisier than the yellow flame on a Bunsen burner?
because it's burning more violentlya2. In detail, the flame front is a continuous explosion, travelling faster than the local speed of sound. The gas-air mix reaches explosive mixture levels, explodes, but in doing so it now is removed from the region of explosive mixture, and returns to that point by normal burning. Only to reach the explosive mixture point again. many times per second.
What kind of eruption has an pyroclastic flow?
An explosive volcanic eruption. Pyroclastic flow is a mixture of fast flowing hot gases that travel down and away from the eruption.
Is magma a explosive eruption and why?
Magma is not an eruption. Magma is a mixture of molten minerals and dissolved gas that is underground. All volcanic eruptions, apart from phreatic eruptions, involve magma.
Why is it bad to mix chemicals randomly?
Two possibilities: - forming a mixture - a reaction occur
Which method is better for separating mixture evaporation or filtration?
If you have a solid precipitate /liquid mixture filtration is the better method of recovering the solid as any contaminant in the liquid can potentially be washed out. Evaporating the liquid to remove it would just deposit whatever residues there were onto the precipitate.
What kind of acids are in batteries?
Batteries contain Lead, Lead Oxide and Sulphuric Acid. Overcharging generates Oxygen and Hydrogen creating a highly explosive mixture Bad ones.
How you should add mixture water in batteries?
If your battery is not a sealed unit you add pure distilled water.
What fluid is in a battery?
Most automobile batteries contain an electrolyte. Electrolyte is a mixture of sulphuric acid and distilled water. Other combinations are used in some batteries.
Is regular battery acid the same for golf cart batteries?
If you mean regular battery acid like the batteries in automobiles, then yes, it is. Oh, and some of us use the term electrolyte instead of battery acid. It's a mixture of water and sulfuric acid.
What is explosive mixture?
A mixture of substances that may explode under the right circumstances. Powdered flour dispersed thru air will explode if a spark is present. Gunpowder is an explosive mixture, not a compound. Nitroglycerine is NOT an explosive mixture. It is an explosive compound.
What would make a battery explode?
Exploding Car BatteriesSince this is in the "Car Batteries" section, this answer will be limited to automotive batteries only. However, almost all batteries can explode under the right set of conditions and circumstances. Almost all automotive batteries are of the "Lead-Acid" type. The acid in Lead-Acid batteries is Sulphuric Acid [H2SO4] and in the process of discharging and/or charging of these batteries HYDROGEN gas [H2] is created inside the battery. Some of this gas is always present inside the battery, and some always escapes to the outside via the vents in the battery cell caps.IF the "mixture ratio" [a proper amount of air mixed with the Hydrogen gas] happens to be within the "explosive range," and if any spark occurs within that gas envelope, either inside or outside of the battery, then the gas-air mixture will ignite explosively.Ignition of the gas-air mixture can occur inside the battery, or outside, and if outside, can "flashback" into/inside the battery causing it to explode.This is why all instructions regarding working with automotive batteries warn the operator to keep all open flame and/or sparks away from the battery.AND when making "jumper" wire connections, that the "last" connection to be made should be the negative cable from the jumping vehicle, and that it should be connected to a grounded part of the engine or frame of the vehicle being jump started, well AWAY FROM THE BATTERY.
How are explosive classified?
high explosives, low explosives, explosive mixture and explosive compounds.
Is a battery a pure substance or a mixture and why?
A battery is a device, not a mixture. It is built by people, often using machines, and consists of a container, an anode, a cathode and an electrolyte, along with terminals or other means of providing electrical current to a circuit. In some batteries the electrolyte may be a mixture of materials. For example, the electrolyte of a lead-acid battery is a mixture of sulfuric acid and water.
When shuold be added mixture water in batteries?
when batteries are new never use mixture water but when batteries become old and weak then you need to add mixture water
Is it safe to put battery gas in water?
Batteries contain no gas. They contain a mixture of 65% distilled water and 35% sulfuric acid.
Home cleaning remedy for cleaning batteries?
The cleaning of batteries is very difficult. You should first check with the battery's manufacturer. Many of them offer free replacement of electronic devices damaged by their leaking batteries. Some of them will replace your damaged item if caused solely by leakage under routine conditions. An automotive battery can be cleaned with a mixture of baking soda and water.
Is battery acid a compound or a mixture?
is battery acid a compound or mixture
